Robert Graham’s wife dies, leaving him to take care of their three-weeks-old son. Graham is called abroad on business and turns the child over to his elderly aunt. During Graham’s absence, the child dies, but a woman who is poverty stricken, leaves her son on the doorstep of Aunt Libby, who takes the infant in and gives it a home. Graham returns and uninformed by his aunt, continues to love the child as his own. Three years later the child is taken sick and a nurse is sent for, who happens to be the real mother. Aunt Libby’s conscience makes her confess that the boy is not Graham’s son, but the son of the nurse in attendance. Graham cannot give up the child; the mother cannot give up her son, so Graham decides to marry the mother to keep the son.
